Looking at the BBC website this morning it seems that Arsenal are one signing away from having a title winning side (according to Shearer) and Pep has run out of energy (according to Emmanuel Petit).

Should we just not bother this season and award the title to Arsenal now ?

Martin Keown said he's fed up of Pep smoking Cigars when we win the title, claiming its showing disrespect. Even Jordan laughed at him and asked about Arsenal players taking photos of each other after a home win last season. Keown looked flustered and tried to pretend it didn't happen.

And it allows the American owners to spend as little as possible on their club's!

Yep golden goose, American owners, premier league throwing the most attractive league to watch away in 5,4,3,2,1.

I’ve said it for ages.

Stupid is as stupid does, and no one is more stupid than the man who doesn't think he's the most stupid.

The red cartel have been attempting to destroy City for TEN years, blind to the fact that they are dismantling the PL and themselves.

Twixt, City have invested in the world's best coach, wonderful players, the CFA, stadium infrastructure & arena, the global CFG & East Manchester from the NQ to Clayton, along with success in every tournament entered and more records than EMI.

Our revenues are the highest in world football, we are the fastest growing sports enterprise in America and get more hits than the Beatles.

Pep has beneficially changed & improved football beyond recognition to a point where young and international fans have City as their 1st or 2nd club.

Coaches at all levels of the game have become disciples of the Pep/City style & philosophy.

Despite all this and more, the yank red cartel lemmings, and their lame & clueless acolytes at the PL,FA,Pgmol,Sky, Media etc, can only bitterly and enviously attempt to traduce our collective achievements and reputation.

They are in a hand cart to burning hell & hell will hopefully consume them all !!

It won’t happen but I’d love to see the club start to give the BBC the cold shoulder. One word answers etc. They need putting in their place - for a National Broadcaster they are a disgrace.

Which reminds me. Our old finance director was pretty disdainful of financial analysts in general, but for the brief period we were a public company he took great delight in showing it (unless he was embedding useful messages with his one or two chosen useful idiot analysts). I remember an analysts' presentation in London where one of them asked why the gross margin percentage had increased. "Because sales have increased by more than cost of sales" was the reply. To the follow up question "Would you like to elaborate", the answer was "No".

Tbf to him, the gross margin percentage was super-sensitive because the group had a world-wide pricing strategy to accumulate as much of the group's income in low-tax Switzerland (where we even had a personalised tax regime with the authorities) to the detriment of subsidiaries in higher tax-paying countries.

Was funny as fuck, though, listening to him batting away the questions.

You forgot how Slot absolutely nailed it and somehow came away with a 2-0 win against world beaters Ipswich town.

I see SSN have upped the ante by having two roadmen on at once.

Arsenal and Liverpool will be very serious challengers this season imo.

We’ll have to be absolutely bang at it.

so ur basing that on 1 game if so you work for sky dont you and if you're basing it on the last couple of seasons then more evidence suggests we will bang it then they will be serious challengers
